Abstract

Issues and challenges in teaching English in rural madrasahs
are enormous. Despite the fact that English is considered to be a difficult
subject, its presence as a compulsory subject does not seem desirable in
such a situation. In this socio-cultural context, maintaining motivation is
an important element among the challenges where the students are not
motivated to learn English. This article explains the issues and challenges
and the motivational strategies developed by Madrasah Tsanawiyah
teachers of English in teaching English in their context and the impact on
their students. By analysing the teachers’ lived-experience through their
stories this research finding shows that there are three kinds of
motivational strategies enacted by the teachers of English in the rural
areas of East Java including giving rewards, positive feedback, and
increasing self-esteem and self-confidence. These three elements of
external motivation indicate that the motivation plays a significant role in
engaging students to learn English
